It’s easy to blow past a life event and not look back.

Some personality types are notorious for it. The Type A is a classic.

“There’s no time for the past we’re too busy moving forward!” – last words of some person about to get a hard lesson.

If we don’t learn from history we’re doomed to repeat it.

What’s with the hurry?

If you slow down, you might actually get somewhere.

Movement requires direction between two points, but it also takes reflecting in order to make the right course adjustments along the path.

What’s with the resistance for reflection?

Where does that reluctance come from?

I can’t answer that because I have the opposite problem. I have such intense, crippling imposter syndrome that I reflect almost compulsively.

Reflection acts almost like a safety blanket for people like me, who ruminate and overthink.

But to move forward it takes both; practice and reflection.
